Local Home Care Agency Sponsors Cambridge Connections Memory Café

{FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—JUNE 4, 2018 CAMBRIDGE MA}

Right at Home Boston and North is supporting efforts from the Cambridge Council on Aging and Somerville Cambridge Elder Services to make our community more dementia friendly.

Right at Home will be the monthly snack sponsor for the Cambridge Connections Memory Café at the Citywide Senior Center in Cambridge, MA. “We are excited to partner with Cambridge Council on Aging and Somerville Cambridge Elder Services and be an official sponsor of this wonderful community effort. We will be offering a monthly surplus of goodies including healthy and nutritious snacks and refreshments for all guests and volunteers.”

Memory Cafes aim to reduce the stigma associated with dementia and allow people to come together to enjoy activities, conversation and refreshments, without a focus on decline or disease. Activities may include arts and crafts, or music and dance; all provide a space for social interaction to reduce isolation.

The Cambridge Connections Memory café takes place monthly, on the third Friday, from 10am-12pm. The next café will be held on Friday June 15th. Please join us in forming new friendships and bonds through music, art, and new experiences.

Memory Cafés are not facilitated support groups, or a drop-off respite program for caregivers. Please note that a caregiver must accompany individuals who need help with personal care. For more information or to RSVP, email the SCES Aging Information Center at info@eldercare.org or call 617-628-2614, ext. 607.
